Crashes

[Patrick]

Hi,
On a fresh install with WP 4.3, BuddyPress 2.3.2.1, and BuddyBoss 4.2.1, no other plugins active, no custom css, and no custom functions added, debug mode on, I get the following notice in the frontend and in the backend:

Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use instead in …/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457

It’s only a notice but it leads to regular backend crashes. With the theme Twenty Fifteen I don’t get this notice.

Hi @patloq,
It is added as High Priority task, we will update theme version shortly.

Hi @vapvarun,
Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate that very much. Could you tell what do you mean with “shortly”, e.g. 1 day, week, … ?

When it will be ready from developers side they will push the update.

[Patrick]

…I’m looking forward to the update.

Hi @patloq, It is fixed in our theme update ( BuddyBoss 4.2.1 ), if you are still getting that notice , it will be due to other plugins.
Even BuddyPress plugin itself is generating that notice.

I have BuddyBoss 4.2.1 installed and this notice is still there only when BuddyBoss is active. When Twenty Fifteen is active there is no notice.

Hi @acroyes, seems we have tested it without BuddyPress , that’s why notice did not reflected.
We will fix in our next update. it’s not an issue just an indication that function are depreciated.

Thanks @vapvarun. It is needed for php7 support.

It will be fixed before that 🙂
